Equipment

  • a mixer (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups cold whole milk (can substitute half-and-half)
  • 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (This will be half a can for most brands with 14-ounce cans)
  • (1) 3.4-ounce box vanilla instant pudding (Jell-O used)
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4-5 large bananas, sliced into circles
  • 8 ounces whipped topping
  • 1 box vanilla wafers

Instructions
 

  • Mix the cold milk and condensed milk in a large bowl until well combined. Add the pudding and stir until mixed well. Chill for 5 minutes to let the pudding thicken. (You can also use a mixer to quickly mix the milk and pudding.)
  • In a medium bowl, add 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Add the cut bananas and gently stir to coat them with lemon juice. Add more lemon juice if necessary to thoroughly coat the bananas. This will keep them from turning brown. Drain off any excess lemon juice.
  • Fold the whipped topping into the thickened pudding mixture. Then, in six dessert bowls, layer with pudding, bananas, and a layer of cookies. Repeat until all the pudding mixture is used, ending with a pudding layer. Garnish with extra cookies.

Notes

Make Banana Pudding in One Dish

This dessert can also be layered in a medium-sized bowl or casserole dish. Start by placing 1/3 of the pudding mixture in the bowl and then layer with bananas and cookies. Repeat layers, ending with pudding.

Cookies

There are usually leftover cookies after making this dessert. Making banana pudding in a large dish takes more cookies than in individual bowls.

Substitution

You can substitute whipped cream for whipped topping:
  • Whip 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream with 3 tablespoons of sugar to yield the equivalent of 8 ounces of Cool Whip.
